Lasik Eye Surgery Q&A:
I am 43 years old and would like to have it done so I don’t need to wear reading glasses and have another pair for long distance. I also have one lazy eye. Will lasik work for that eye too?

i have done lasik for my eye 7 year ago but i was myopia and from that day my lift is changed dramaticly now i have no problen with my eyes …. before performing this procedure i was also really affraied ,i have gone to several physicians and ask them about the worst things that may happen for me, nd finally i made my decision and go to the best ophtalmologist ,and do it … i am really happy now this was one of my best decisions in my life …. go do the best ophtalmologist ,and trust him… i am sure the result will be the best one for you…
I had lasik done last year, at 42, for moderate to severe (20/675) myopia. I’m a hair away from 20/20 now, and am very pleased.
If you see an experienced surgeon and are screened for risk factors for the surgery, there should be very little risk of a bad result. Of all the people I know, only one has had a problem afterwards, and that was chronically dry eyes. However, she had it done 6 years ago with a blade, not laser, and was told she was borderline (too flat an angle) for the surgery anyway.
The lazy eye can be done if the laziness is not too severe. You’d have to be examined by the doctor to know for sure.
I don’t know where you are, but I had my eyes done in Canada. They are 5 years ahead of the USA as far as lasik experience, and it cost half of what it would have cost here.
